wer To reach this in 2050:
1. Innovations, Faster, More Efficient, Cheaper and Safer2. Integration in energy system by flexibility, storage and
market models3. Spatial integration by mitigating ecological impact, building
with nature, multi-use of space, social acceptance and participation
Balancing solutions will become more expensive
CONTEXT 2/2
Experimentation is becoming more and more difficult.
We must develop and derisk the interface between production sources and flexibility storage / conversion technologies.
Companies need the opportunity to pass through the valley of death
Industry and Governments need confidence in new solutions

VISION 1 FOR NEW FACILITY
Vision: Establish and operate a joint Dutch infrastructure for the integration of wind energy in the energy system together with solar power, hydrogen production and energy storage.
Demonstrate and accelerate:System Controllable renewable sources (wind, solar)Electricity storage systemsProduction of energy carriers (H2) Use H2 to produce electricity and/or other products

WIND TURBINE ROBOTICS TEST FACILITY
Zero subsidy can only be achieved with new ways of working.
Sending people offshore is costly, risky and results in long turbine downtime before repair.
Robotics can achieve repairs and inspections faster, cheaper and safer.
But, it is difficult to prove new concepts quickly enough. A test facility will be established to get through the “Valley of Death” efficiently, delivering reliable, effective new technology onto wind farms.

Assuming 6 interventions per turbine per year.One CTV carrying 12 technicians visits 6 turbines per day.
CTV costs €1,500/day to rent and technicians work 10 hours/day at €50/hour
If robotics only save 1/5 of technician journeys,
for minor work
Each incident costs 24 hours of production on average.Each turbine is 5MW and operates at 40% capacity factor, earning 80€/MWh
